Gary Neville's David Coote hot take is SO WRONG, we've taken it to pieces | OneFootball

Gary Neville has finally got round to having his say on the David Coote affair.

In case you missed it, the 42-year-old Premier League referee has been suspended pending a full investigation from PGMOL over the contents of a video in which he allegedly disclosed biases against both Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp.

Neville usually has plenty to say about everything concerning Liverpool and he’s usually wrong. This time however, he may have outdone himself.

On the “It’s Called Soccer” show for the Overlap US alongside FIFA referee Christina Unkel and host Rebecca Lowe, Neville disagreed with Unkel’s assessment that Coote should never referee again in the Premier League if found guilty.

Instead he was content to wave away her expert opinion and launch a bizarre and impassioned plea on behalf of Coote that took in everything from minimisation to selective omission.

It really was a masterclass in poor argument.

Anyway, I have tried several times to muster a response to what I’ve seen but the only way I feel I can do it justice is to literally go through it line by line telling Neville how and why he is wrong.
